The 10 best-looking players at the 2014 World Cup

Although not known for his sense of sportsmanship, Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo is widely regarded as one of the best players in the game today.

Sergio Ramos mainly plays as a central defender for Real Madrid and Spain, with whom he will be looking to defend their 2010 World Cup title.

Like his Real Madrid teammate, goalkeeper Iker Casillas traveled to Spain looking to repeat as World Cup champions.

Speedy and skilled Dortmund midfielder Marco Reus didn't make the trip to Brazil, having sustained an ankle injury in Germany's last friendly, a 6-1 victory over Armenia, before boarding the plane.

Barcelona's diminutive star striker Lionel Messi will need to lead Argentina to at least the final, if he is to be truly considered as good as former superstar Diego Maradona.

Bayern Munich star Mario Götze has been in good form going into the tournament, scoring two late goals in Germany's last friendly before traveling to South America.

At his age of 36, this is almost certainly the last World Cup for Ivory Coast striker Didier Drogba. The former Chelsea star now plies his trade for Turkish side Galatasaray.

Hatem Ben Arfa, a winger and attacking midfielder, plays his club football at Newcastle United in the north of England. He didn't make France's World Cup squad.

Ricardo Izecson dos Santos Leite, whom football supporters know simply as Kaka, will not be playing for Brazil in the World Cup, as he was left out of coach Felipe Scolari's squad.
